Endorsements
"I am so grateful to have shared my time with such an amazing group of actors who asked such thoughtful, intelligent questions and whose energy was a joy to receive! How does it get any better than this? (P.S. If you're in L.A. and not a member of The Actors' Network...um...why not?)"
- Amy Jo Berman, VP of Casting, HBO
The Actors' Network has spent more than a decade holding itself to the highest of ethical and professional standards in an industry that too often is seen as having very little of either. We do this not only within the curriculum of membership, but also in our leadership decisions, business practices and our personal experiences with our fellow Industry friends and peers. It is in direct reflection of our ethics and integrity that so many top Industry professionals who have experienced The Actors' Network feel so strongly about it. If you have had a direct experience with us, and would like to write an endorsement of the organization we would truly appreciate it, and welcome it. All you need do is email it to us at: info@actors-network.com. Please note the subject line as: Industry player endorsement. Thank you.

Peggy Kennedy, Theatrical TV Casting Director, 24 "“... there is a place called the Actor’s Network, which I think is wonderful for all actors because they don’t do workshops. They’ll have somebody come and speak and answer questions. But they do not have auditions. And they supply information for the actors as to whose doing what and it’s a great pipeline. Something like that that gives all kinds of information about people in the industry. There’s a lot to learn and it changes all the time.” (Excerpt from a 7/11/07 Now Casting Actor's Ink interview with Peggy Kennedy.)" |
Karen Kondazian, Backstage West "The Actor's Way, BackStage West, June 1998 "...not just an acting school...just a self-started network of business minded working actors sharing trade publications and resources, job leads, helpful tips and warnings, and moral support. Amazingly, instead of being laughed out of Hollywood by the cynics who pervade the city, The Actors' Network is thriving." - Karen Kondazian " |
